The Ultimate Savory Starter Collection

A strong housewarming gift, a first-apartment gift, or a gift for a new homeowner who's cooking from an empty pantry for the first time.

Good for a wedding registry, a graduation, or anyone who just moved and hasn't restocked a spice cabinet yet.

Eight full-size jars, gift-boxed and ready to give.

Salt & Pepper Tableside and Onion & Garlic are the two jars to reach for daily, on nearly anything that needs a base layer of flavor.

Italian Herbs goes into pasta sauce or on pizza, Taco Seasoning covers taco night without the overload of sodium from grocery store packets.

Santa Maria seasons steak, and Nantucket Herb & Citrus works on chicken or fish.

Ground Cumin rounds out chili, tacos, or curry, and Ground Ceylon Cinnamon is the one for baking, coffee, or oatmeal.

Most people build a spice cabinet the slow way, buying one jar for one recipe until half of them are stale and none of them work together. This set skips that. These eight blends were handpicked so they give someone enough range to cook a real week of different dinners starting the day they move in–whether their a new cook, an amateur, or a seasoned chef.

It's perfect for a completely empty pantry, but it works just as well for someone who already has a few spices and wants eight that actually complement each other instead of duplicating what's already on the shelf.

The Ultimate Savory Starter Collection FAQ

What makes this a good housewarming gift?

It covers the range a new kitchen actually needs, everyday seasoning, Italian, Mexican, grilling, and baking, in one gift instead of a single jar that only handles one dish.

Is this a good gift for someone who's never cooked much?

Yes. None of these eight require any special technique, they're built to season what someone's already cooking, not to teach a new skill.

What's included in a starter spice set?

Onion & Garlic Everyday Seasoning, Salt & Pepper Tableside Seasoning, Italian Herbs, Nantucket Herb & Citrus Rub, Santa Maria Butcher's Rub, Taco Seasoning, Ground Cumin Seeds, and Ground Ceylon Cinnamon.

Why is there a cinnamon in a set that's mostly savory?

Because a new kitchen needs baking basics too, not just dinner seasonings. Ceylon cinnamon covers that without needing a separate baking-focused set.
